Installing the 3160
Power Amplifier 3160 Installation Handbook 17
What you need to consider
There are different requirements that must be considered,
depending on the layout and type of station in which the 3160
is used, that is, basic or stacked layout, mobile or fixed station.
Please read the sections that are relevant to your installation.
Basic layout
When installing the 3160 you must consider:
the location and mounting of the 3160
the routing of the coaxial and control cables
grounding requirements for the 3160
The basic layout (see Figure 5 on page 10) is connected using
a 2 m power adaptor cable between the 2110 amplifier adaptor
panel (and hence the transceiver cradle) and the 3160.
Therefore, these items need to be located within 2 m of each
other. For dimensions of each item see page 37,
Specifications.
The fins on the heatsink of the 3160 should be oriented so that
warm air can move easily away from the fins. Ideal
orientations for the 3160 are shown in Figure 5 on page 10 and
Figure 6 on page 12.
